Marge with her table runners

Inspired by a table runner that Jackie Metz showed the Stitchit neighborhood group, Marge Hollnagel has created not one, but three table runners to give away as Christmas gifts. The table runners, entitled The Twelve Days of Christmas, are machine stitched with a home embroidery machine and each one took an estimated 35 hours to complete with 30 of those hours just in machine stitching time. Marge’s original thought back in February of 2011 was to make four table runners; one for each of her step daughters, one for her daughter-in-law, and one for herself. Well……… three out of four isn’t bad. Maybe next year…….
